Mafia 3 DLC Sign of the Times will let Lincoln Clay embrace his detective skills, according to a new trailer. The downloadable content pack is the third and final piece of DLC for Hangar 13’s open-world game and will be released later this month.

Sign of the Times follows the Stones Unturned DLC which released in May and saw Lincoln and Landon Donovan team up to take down an old enemy.

Mafia 3 has shipped five million copies, publisher Take-Two confirms. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick also confirmed that development costs for the game, an open-world sandbox with a biracial protagonist, were “higher” than forecast.

Mafia 3 has become 2K Games’ fastest selling game ever, beating both the NBA 2K and BioShock franchises. Parent company Take-Two (which also owns Rockstar Games) revealed that the game had a “sell-in” of 4.5 million copies within a week of launch, a figure that includes copies sold digitally as well as physical copies that have been sold to retailers (but not necessarily sold to customers, yet).

Despite this figure not necessarily being representative of the overall Mafia 3 sales picture, the figure is still impressive. Not least because the game garnered reviews that were “lower than we would have liked,” according to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick.

When Mafia 3 is released next year, it will have an open-world environment to run around in and it will be full of criminal misdeeds. Grand Theft Auto 5, on the other hand, has an open-world environment that is also full of criminal activities. And they’re both owned by (2K and Rockstar Games’ parent company) Take-Two, so obviously comparisons are already being made.

But Take-Two wants to make it clear that their upcoming game isn’t just GTA 5 in a mob-boss get up. In the latest earnings call Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick addressed these comparisons head on, saying that Mafia 3 is “completely different” from their other criminal caper title.

Want to spend £40 on the GOTY edition of Fallout 3? Or how about £40 on Fallout New Vegas? Forget it. Spend £30 (maybe even less in some places) on the Game of the Year Edition of Borderlands – an open-world RPG that has more in common with the Fallout games than their shared love of quests and customisation.

Because of other, more established RPGs, like the aforementioned Fallout games, Borderlands is often overlooked as a ‘serious’ game on account of its cartoony-drawn graphics and dusting of light humour but it’s these amusing qualities that make Borderlands different from so many of the other heavy and dark RPGs on the market right now and with several helpings of fantastic DLC (4 DLC packs to be precise) included in the GOTY edition, now is the perfect time to give Borderlands a second chance.
